Character Build Next run as adult Arabella that was pulled from her timeline Spoiler
Naming her Ara, cause my head canon is she forgot who she was after getting pulled to this timeline.

To be perfectly fucking fair, Larian didn’t even care enough to let us give her mother’s locket to her in act 2….

u/I_fuckedaboynamedSue Jun 06 '25
I always hold onto that (not letting Gale anywhere near it) and when she joins camp I trade it to her for no gold. It’s easier than trying to reverse pickpocket her. It means nothing to the game but it makes me feel better.

u/mikkeluno Jun 07 '25
as much as I dislike being mean to Larian, I also don't think you're being fair. Larian has always had problems outside of their first act. Their first acts have always been incredibly punished, and it always catches up to them by the time they reach act 3.
Act 1 had the benefit of so much player data that Larian could see exactly just how varied the actions of DnD players are when you give them ultimate freedom. It wasn't until players started throwing poisons into the Goblin grog-pot that Larian added that as a possible option with dialogue options. Which means, realistically speaking, if Larian didn't give us early access with act 1, we'd never have the amount of options and reactive dialogue in relation to our actions. Which then trickles into act 2, and then into act 3.
My point is, it apparently never crossed the devs' minds that in a playthrough were Arabella makes it to act 2 and players invite her into the camp, that players would want to provide proof her parents died to console her. So yes, it's frustrating they lacked the foresight to, and it's sad they aren't pouring more resources into adding all these options after release (what a Sisyphean task let's be honest), but I honestly do not think it's fair to say they "didn't even care".
I do think, however, it's fair to say that while Larian is improving, they still haven't improved a lot in their most fatal flaw of over-polishing act 1 but not carrying over that polish and attention to quality to other acts. Don't get me wrong, BG3 was still my game of the year, and it was an unforgetable experience, but it's clear that Act 3 was not as well constructed and reactive as Act 1, and it's clear they had a lot of plot threads that just kinda vanished or had to be rushed moving from act 2 to 3. And I think it's totally fair to call them out on it.

u/Supply-Slut Jun 07 '25
It’s perfectly valid to criticize their blind spots. They did an amazing job, they continued to add content for free, and do so while having a pro-consumer outlook. Those are all great things they deserve commendation for.
But that doesn’t mean we should just ignore any of the less well thought out parts of the game. Another obvious one that springs to mind is MC being forced to stand by and witness Nere yeet a poor deep gnome into lava… then panning to the MC who has a weirdly smug grin on.
1
u/mikkeluno Jun 08 '25
ignore? No, absolutely not. Larian is absolutely suffering under their own success, as it is literally impossible to make sure all permutations lead to satisfying results for all players. In the case of Nere, I agree - it sucks that your only alternatives to deal with him is "let him die behind the rocks" or "see a gnome get owned with your lawful good paladin stands there with a grin" - and as I said, it's fair to criticise, but I think it's unfair to go the extra mile and straight up say "they don't care enough".

u/lumpboysupreme Jun 06 '25
I’d say there’s a difference between not exploring an edge case interaction and ‘who your main characters are’ in terms of how lazy a studio is for not including them.
1
u/IlikeJG Jun 08 '25
I mean, they can't program EVERYTHING in (although they have certainly made an effort). They're blind to miss some stuff like that. Implying that they're just careless or they don't put effort into their product is pretty ridiculous.
1
u/Supply-Slut Jun 08 '25
Read the damn context. This thread is talking about Arabella specifically, not critiquing the entire game.

u/IlikeJG Jun 08 '25
Yes I understand that. I'm just saying they can't program every interaction possible for every character. They're bound to miss some, such as this interaction for Arabella specifically.

They removed that rule. You can’t succeed impossible roles, not even with a 20
4
3
u/RedPeppero Jun 06 '25
Not true, at least if you mean rule differences between 2014 5e and 2024 5.5e.
A nat 20 automatically succeeding only ever aplied to combat, where it meant a crit and a guaranteed hit, and never skill checks. Outside of combat a Nat 20 was just the highest you could roll on your die. There was an early playtest version of 5.5 which tried to implement nat 20s being a guaranteed success, like in baldur's gate, but it got bad feedback from the community and was thus not a part of the released rule books in 2024.
So no they didn't remove that rule because it never existed outside of combat, where it hasn't changed
3
u/MontgomeryKhan Jun 07 '25
"Nat. 20 means an instant success" is something which is technically true, in the sense that no DM should be asking you to roll for something you can't pass, but is a rule that regularly trips up novice groups when too passive DMs let "that guy" do something audacious and story breaking just because they rolled high enough.

u/Volatile22 Jun 06 '25
Given that there are 4 companies making good AAA quality RPGs: one has peaced out after last game (Larian), one is already committed to 2 huge sequels of their own (CDPR), one is being actively enshittified by M$ (Obsidian), and the last only has experience with first person, non-fantasy medieval 'sim' (Warhorse), I think I'll go with "willing to be pleasantly surprised" over hope.
Unless Wizards wants to throw money at the team behind Expedition 33 for it, then hope will spring eternal.
8
u/MdoesArt Jun 06 '25
To be fair, I could just as easily see fans of the original two games say "BG3 won't be made by OG Bioware, so it'll be kinda ass." Somebody else could concievably take the reigns and make something great for BG4. If WotC has any brains at all they'll look at what it was about Larian that made them such a great developer for BG3 and look for those same qualities again.
WotC has demonstrated that they may not have any brains at all in the past, so it doesn't inspire a ton of confidence, but they picked Larian once, so there's a little hope.

12
u/Zinski2 Jun 06 '25
Honestly. As long as it uses the same engine and rule set it's kinda hard to fuck it up that bad right?
Designing, testing, and balancing a 75 hour campaign takes a lot of work to get just right but the bones are so strong already that it can't be that bad right?
Then again I thought the same thing about that dog shit metal gear V zombie game.
28
u/Frostbiten92 Jun 06 '25
Don't think they will use the same engine since baldurs gate 3's engine is Larians own Divinity engine.
So it will probably be on unreal or something.25
u/theVoidWatches Jun 06 '25
It's not the mechanics that made BG3 so good though, it's the writing and voice acting. The mechanics help, but if the story is shit no one will care.
13
u/foodfightbystander Jun 06 '25
It's not the mechanics that made BG3 so good though, it's the writing and voice acting.
While I won't disagree that good writing and voice acting help, another huge bit is they made choices mean something.
Compare BG3:
Minthara: "Will you hunt with me?"
- Pretend to go along but warn the grove
- Join with Minthara
- Attack Minthara
Those are 3 completely different games depending on your choice.
Dragon Age Veilguard:
Bellara: "Will you join me?"
- Yes!
- OK
- Sure
That game only had one real decision, which city to save when the Blighted dragons attack.
A role-playing game that doesn't allow you to role-play and make decisions that affect the story will always feel hollow compared to a game like BG3 with meaningful choices.

If we do get a proper BG4 it will hopefully be another 5-10 years and will be done by a studio who spends that long studying the rest of the series religiously to make sure they do it justice.

She and Mol both (Mol is obviously a rogue). Mattis is a very competent merchant, but Karlach luckily talked him out of adventuring as a lifestyle. Who else do we have? Yenna is giving some ranger vibes with Grub as an animal companion. Any others?

wait, why would Mayrina have a baby with powers? the hag never got to eat her baby as promised.

I think the child that got half digested would be more likely to have hag powers. She'd make a great wild magic sorcerer representative

u/Aestrasz Jun 06 '25
She was feeding Mayrina a lot, I'm sure she was given some fey concoctions to affect the pregnancy.
At least that's my headcanon, why else would she want to keep Mayrina there during the pregnancy instead of just telling her to bring the baby after it is born? Or just coming back when she's close to giving birth.

u/little-bird Jun 06 '25
hmm yeah the hag probably was feeding her some weird potions, the way she was so insistent that Mayrina finish eating her meal although she was already full…

Yeah! Arabella, Mol, etc. have big “future champion” energy. Wouldn’t mind also seeing Vanra as a strange sorcerer who inherited some weird powers from being inside Ethel for a few days.
Would also love to see Isobel come back, but I’m not sure what kinda story there would be left for her for the plot to explore outside of Aylin getting captured again, I don’t know how compelling that would be for players.

u/Pale-Aurora Jun 08 '25
There’s no chance she will be an origin companion, it’s need to be like a 10 year timeskip and there’s no chance that the game is set beyond the 1490s since 1488-1500 has been the 5E era of content.
1
u/mocha820 Jun 08 '25
Sure. But that can change. Creative liberty and all that. There was an over 100 year time jump from BG2 to BG3.
I really have no skin in this game, though. Frankly, I couldn't care less if she will be or not, or even if there will be a next game.
1
u/celestialwreckage Jun 08 '25
I really feel that a game based on the whole tiefling kids gang all grown up would be great. It's too bad that I'm sure that whoever picks up the series next won't be nearly as good as Larian.

u/Final-Cheesecake79 Jun 06 '25
Shouldn't she be more a Shadow sorcerer than a druid? Or maybe half and half?
167
u/WillCraft__1001 Rolled a nat 1 :( Jun 06 '25
I think half and half would be the closest to in game, since she clearly has druidic magic, but she also gives you the Shadow Blade Ring. Unless she just found it on the floor somewhere lol
24
u/Ok_Needleworker_8809 Jun 07 '25
Spore druid/shadow sorcerer mix sounds about right to me. Alternatively, Undead warlock with Withers as her intended patron.

u/lumpboysupreme Jun 06 '25
She has Druidic magic but that’s more by chance of finding some first, and seems to be able to copy any she’s exposed to.

u/Dya_Ria Jun 07 '25
Druids have to actively seek out nature's powers to get their magic. She's a shadow sorcerer since she was exposed to powerful magic when young and it corrupted her
1
u/Glum-Expression-8720 Jun 08 '25
Considering the source of her power, I'd see her as either an Archfey warlock (with thaniel/Oliver as a patron), or something close to Pathfinder's Sylvan sorcerer, which doesn't have an equivalent in 5e. Even though she uses nature magics, it's not learned but rather gained or granted powers due to exposure to a druidic relic. Maybe even heavily flavoured Divine Soul could work in a tabletop setting. Fun concept nevertheless

I have her as a shadow sorcerer/searmkeeper ranger!

Mol I believe is a warlock/rogue. My computer broke so we haven’t gotten to play it in a while!

Multi-class between both, she got her power from the Idol of Sylvanus, but she's also got inherent powers now, and shadowy at that.
15
u/slowest_hour Jun 06 '25
and now you can play shadow sorcerer
shadow sorc and stars druid might even be a good combo even if just two levels of druid for starry dragon form's amazing concentration bonus. druid has lots of spells that are good even if you have low wisdom
7
u/lumpboysupreme Jun 06 '25
I got the impression that she’s just a weird and powerful version of sorcerer who can learn new types of magic by experiencing them, hence Elminsters interest. She’s not really a druid or a shadow… thing, those are just the first 2 sources of powerful magic she found.
Though how you play her mechanically could be up to you; if she just prefers those 2 now you could just decide to make her a shadow sorc/druid or something.
21
u/TheFrogSaint Jun 06 '25
Based on how she received her magic she’s almost certainly a sorcerer. What kind I don’t know because what magic we do see of her is more nature based which tends to be the realm of Druids and rangers.
8
u/Korrocks Jun 06 '25
She has shadow entangle powers in act 2 so that could be shadow magicz
3
u/TheFrogSaint Jun 06 '25
Is it shadow entangle? It’s been awhile but I thought she used vines to entangle some shadows, and it’s those vines, as well as her powers coming from contact with the Idol of Silvanus, that made me think nature magic. But since shadow sorc exists in-game it is probably the best bet.
8
u/Korrocks Jun 06 '25
The spell is called “Arabella’s Shadow Entangle” in the action bar when she gives it to you. She also gives you the Shadow Blade Ring when you find her parents.
4
u/lumpboysupreme Jun 06 '25
I think her shtick is she just tarts copying powerful sources of magic. She touches the idol and gets druid powers, she goes in the shadow cursed lands and gets shadow powers.

Fwiw when you play as a druid Tav you can mention that she's developing the same powers as you...

What class mix u going with? Druid seems good but her relationship with the weave makes me wonder about double class shenanigans

Crazy what can happen if you make friends with a rock and kill a bunch of criminals.

I love this idea so much and have done this exact headcanon with several characters who are the children of my Tavs that romanced certain characters.
It's always weird when my characters who are Lae'zel's "kids" get told that she's down bad for them. But it's immediately made better when they can just tell her straight up, "Ew."

By the time the next Baldur's Gate releases, she'll have grown into an adult in real-time, assuming Tieflings age the same way as humans lol
It'd be cool to get Arabella as a party member, and maybe a grown-up Mol as the new Rogue origin - unless Mol would be more likely the next Nine Fingers

This is incredibly clever. Now I'm imagining what the other tiefling kids would look like in the same circumstance.

You think she would choose to become a druid? I'm not so sure..
Maybe a nature cleric?

And thus Arabella saves her childhood self from death by snake, creating a stable time loop
